Quite undisturbed forest for 1/2 a century, used for duck hunting in the previous owners family for decades. I’ve started building a small cabin that’s unfinished hopefully completing in the coming years. Fishing pond and small seasonal creek flows after lots of rain. Excited to share it with others! Note: Daylight arrival at least an hour before sunset recommended! FYI out of firewood at this time

Paul’s Golden Spot Hip Camp was a favorite location for us. We had gone up to NC to visit relatives and he was in a great location for a great price. We were happy to have water and electric hookup and a dump location when we were finished with our four night stay.
Gold Hill is a charming little town and has some nice hiking trails.
Paul is extremely friendly and helpful. His home is amazing!
We will choose his quiet and spacious location again if it’s available the next time we’re in the area.

My husband and I spent 4 days here to reconnect and center ourselves.
Such a wonderful location. We Fished, swam in the river and was able to relax in a very secluded campsite BUT also close to grocery stores and a liquor store.
The campsite is so secluded IF you wanted to skinny dip, you can with no one around to judge your life’s choices 😀
We were able to kayak a little ways up the river to fish but there were so many downed trees we couldn’t go far.
I’ve been camping for over 10 years and this is definitely in my top 5 campsites
**The walk from parking to the campsite will humble you if you over pack! A wagon would be helpful. ( the walk is worth the privacy!!)

Lucky Farms Under the Stars was an incredible stay. The land was beautiful, clean, and spacious. There were walking trails through the woods that led to other sites, the communal campfire, a rope swing, and more. My dog loved running in the grassy field. It was so quiet and peaceful, and at night there were amazing views of the stars. The bathrooms were spotless. The muffins were delicious and made a perfect breakfast treat. An animal had gotten into the first batch of muffins before we got back late, and Taylor had another batch waiting for us the next morning. An overall wonderful experience. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Dennis and Melissa were great hosts. They made sure we were welcomed and went above and beyond to give extra information about the area and history of the farm property. It was SUPER QUIET- which we were really looking for. Star views through the longleaf pines with whip-poor-wills calling in the distance was idyllic. The bathroom and shower (did not get a chance to use) were bonus amenities to our usual primitive camping. A great getaway! Thank you for offering these sites on hipcamp!
